They got the L35 hp rating correct in the text. B-nut Yellow RS/SS 396 with a Th-400 and 3:07 rear (got one just like it). No tach/guages but it did have power windows, tilt wheel, headrests, and disc brakes ("and more"). I laughed at the comparison of the 396 Camaro to the Oldsmobile Turnpike Cruiser. 15-second 1/4 too. Those D70s look like Cheerios.

Bruce, neat write-up on the 67' cars. I've been searching in vain for a 1971 copy of CAR LIFE, which supposedly, has a road test article featuring my 71' LS6 press car. Do you know of any 71' issues that are available?
